The Bethesda Alumni started their
softball practice on March 17 with about
ten players showing up for the initial
workout. The Sports Committee of
Raymond LaMon, chairman, Swain Pot¬
ter an 1 Drexel Kicklighter are planning
to enter a strong team in the City
League or one of the faster leagues
sponsored by the City Recreation De¬
partment.
We will have most of our players re¬
turning from last season, however we
will lose three players who will per¬
form with the company with which they
are employed. We have several good
replacements for these players. The
softball league will open about the 10th
of April. The committee has ordered
uniform shirts with colors of blue and
gold with “Bethesda Alumni” on the
front of the shirts. We will also have
caps this year.

Basketball season with the club and

cessfully. A fairly good summary of
